Condolences on the loss of your father.
Yes, mortgage interest paid by a deceased taxpayer may be reported either on the final tax return for the taxpayer or the estate's tax return (if any).
However, you personally cannot deduct mortgage interest for a property held in trust for the estate of another taxpayer.
